Chapter 841 - 841 0516 Say Whatever You Want_2

Chapter 841: Chapter 0516: Say Whatever You Want_2 Chapter 841: Chapter 0516: Say Whatever You Want_2 Wang Dongming wore an embarrassed expression as he said, “I truly had no idea. When Grandfather was distributing the Wolf Teeth Knives, he avoided involving me. I only know who exactly received them, but as for whether they have used the Wolf Teeth Knives, or whether they kept the launchers after using them, I’m not sure.”

Qi Tian said, “Fine, send a message immediately, summoning those cultivators who have used the Wolf Teeth Knives to gather here. Tell them that if they willingly come forward and hand over the launcher for the Wolf Teeth Knives, I might consider reducing their offenses. If they refuse to show up, then I’ll have no choice but to visit them personally. If I end up reacting fiercely, don’t blame me for not warning them.”

Wang Dongming hastily replied, “Master, please wait a moment. I’ll send messages to them right away and tell them to bring the items with them.”

Without any delay, Wang Dongming began using the methods of the Refining God Sect to notify his fellow sect members.

A short while later, three cultivators walked over together, looking at Qi Tian with eyes filled with both fear and hatred. In reality, they were some of the stronger practitioners within the Refining God Sect; otherwise, they would not have been chosen as the bearers of the Wolf Teeth Knives.

“Why are there only three people?” Qi Tian furrowed his brow.

Wang Dongming quickly explained, “Master, Grandfather only provided seven Wolf Teeth Knives. It’s not possible to assign an owner to every single one of them, is it?”

This explanation was somewhat acceptable, so Qi Tian said to the three cultivators, “Hand over all the launchers, documents, and other items related to the Wolf Teeth Knives to me. If you do so, I am willing to forgive you for the fact that you used the Wolf Teeth Knives to assassinate us.”

One cultivator spoke with stubborn pride, neck stiff, “These items are bestowed upon us by the Sect Leader, and only the Sect Leader has the authority to take them back. You’re an outsider; where do you get the audacity to covet the Refining God Sect’s treasures? Aren’t you afraid that one day, when the Sect Leader returns, he will settle this account with you?”

Qi Tian glanced at Wang Dongming and said, “Wang Dongming, would you please tell them whether I have the right to confiscate all items related to the Wolf Teeth Knives in their possession? Is it not already quite merciful of me to promise not to kill them?”

Wang Dongming, with a look of helplessness but without anything better to say, told the obstinate cultivator, “Master certainly has the right to confiscate any of your belongings. Master is kind-hearted. You’d better not test Master’s patience and should willingly hand over the items to Master.”

The three cultivators, whether they did not dare to defy Wang Dongming’s orders or had already planned to submit to Qi Tian, presented a hesitant demeanor after Wang Dongming’s command but still handed over their items.

The items were few; each of the three cultivators produced a launcher for the Wolf Teeth Knife that resembled a hand crossbow and a booklet that looked identical on the outside.

Qi Tian examined the booklet first and found it to be a simple introduction to the Wolf Teeth Knife. It also contained instructions on how to use the launcher. However, there was nothing else of consequence.

Qi Tian set aside the insignificant booklets and picked up a launcher for the Wolf Teeth Knife. The device looked, in size and shape, quite similar to a hand crossbow. But upon closer inspection, one could find many differences. The launcher was almost entirely engraved with various runes and had several grooves, the purposes of which were not explained in the booklet.

Seeing that Qi Tian was studying the launcher intently, the three cultivators each revealed a barely noticeable smile. They had secretly tampered with the launchers, and these modifications were almost impossible to detect with the naked eye. Even someone with a fair understanding of the launchers might not notice them; it would take considerable knowledge of the Wolf Teeth Knife launchers to spot the alterations they had made.

Qi Tian gestured to Wang Dongming, “Could you explain to me the details of these Wolf Teeth Knife launchers?”

Wang Dongming quickly waved his hands and said, “Master, it’s not that I’m being modest, I really don’t know the condition of the Wolf Teeth Knife launcher.”

Qi Tian nodded, then turned his head to look at the three cultivators and asked, “Could you possibly tell me about these Wolf Teeth Knife launchers?”

The three cultivators all remained silent. To hand over the Wolf Teeth Knife launchers to Qi Tian was already the limit of what they could do; how could they possibly divulge all the details about the Wolf Teeth Knife launchers to Qi Tian? If they did that, they would truly be aiding the enemy. If one day the Sect Leader returned and found out they had revealed the core secrets of the Refining God Sect to Qi Tian, their heads would not be spared.

Seeing that the three cultivators were unwilling to cooperate, Qi Tian smiled and said to Liao Chongru, “Liao, you deal with them. I have promised not to kill them, but I did not agree to spare them from their deserved punishment. How you punish them is up to you.”

Upon hearing this, a deep hatred flashed in Liao Chongru’s eyes. Her loss in coming to the Refining God Sect was the greatest; had Qi Tian not intervened, she would have had to leave her life at the Refining God Sect. Even so, she had still sustained serious injuries and could not utilize the power of her Gold Core Realm, utterly becoming a burden.

All this was thanks to the Wolf Teeth Knife; one could imagine how Liao Chongru felt when she found out that these three cultivators were the ones who had nearly killed her.

Although Liao Chongru could not exert the strength of the Gold Core Realm, with her combat power equivalent to the late stages of Foundation Establishment and her extensive battle experience and numerous collections, dealing with these three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators was far too easy.

In just a few seconds, Liao Chongru had trapped the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with one of her magical treasures. Then, she walked up to them, showing a hint of a ferocious smile, and said, “The Master said not to kill you, so I won’t kill you. But I will make you realize something – often, being able to die is a blessing. The true pain is in wanting to die and not being able to.”

As she spoke, Liao Chongru struck the Dantians of the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with her palm. The sounds of air being released from a tire resounded thrice, and the Dantians of the three cultivators were completely ruined by Liao Chongru, with virtually no chance of repair ever again.

“My Qi Sea.”

…

The three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators screamed miserably, but Liao Chongru was expressionless as she began to methodically handle these now powerless cultivators.

Qi Tian furrowed his brow, realizing that although Liao Chongru was a female cultivator, her ruthlessness and the bloodiness of her methods were in no way inferior to that of male cultivators. He had somewhat underestimated Liao Chongru before.

Soon, Liao Chongru had dealt with the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. From today onward, they were reduced to invalids, struggling even to lead normal lives. If the Refining God Sect was unwilling to take them in and support them, they would probably not live to see the next year.

Wang Dongming had been watching all this with a grim expression. As the current main person in charge of the Refining God Sect, his fellow sect members were being dealt with by Liao Chongru, and he could not say a single word in their defense. The frustration he felt was immense.

Qi Tian glanced at Wang Dongming and asked with a smile, “Do you think my subordinate is a bit too cruel? These three fellow sect members of yours repeatedly tried to assassinate us with Wolf Teeth Knives; don’t they deserve such an outcome? Don’t worry, you can speak freely; I won’t mind.”
